This article was written in 2005. I've read Friedman's columns since, and they haven't gotten any better.

Look at this [1] piece in the Columbia Journalism Review about Friedman's ramblings two years ago about a "radical centrist president".

Friedman lost a lot of credibility when he advocated for the Iraq War.
